The transom/knee/bottom should be fine once planked over, but it does confirm the worry I had earlier. But those frames! I am so glad that the Model Shipways dory had frames secured to a building board. I do not envy you having to sand and bevel with them standing up like that.

palmerit Posted March 23 Author #32 Posted March 23 The kit has you add temporary supports to stiffen the frame on the build board while planking. Adding one of the garboard planks (after beveling the upper end). Will let the glue dry before adding the other garboard. robert952 1 Current Builds: Sherbourne 1763 (Vanguard Models), Ranger 1864 (Vanguard Models), Grand Banks Dory (Midwest Products) In the Queue: Zulu 1900 (Vanguard Models), Endurance (Occre), Syren US Brig 1803 (Model Shipways), Duchess of Kingston (Vanguard Models) Completed Builds: Lowell Grand Banks Dory (Model Shipways), 18th-Century Merchantman Half-Hull Planking Kit (NRG), Norwegian Pram (Model Shipways), Endurance (Lego), Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack (Model Shipways)
palmerit Posted Saturday at 03:04 AM Author #33 Posted Saturday at 03:04 AM Slow progress on the Dory - just haven’t had time to work on any models. Added a couple more planks. The Midwest Dory is twice the size of the Model Shipways Dory (about the same length as my Sherbourne).

Desertanimal Posted Saturday at 04:01 AM #34 Posted Saturday at 04:01 AM Didn’t realize it was so much larger. I’ve seen other build logs and it never clicked that they can get more detail on them. Chris robert952 and palmerit 2

The Model Shipways one is a 15ft dory (dory sizes being measured as length of bottom, not overall) at 1:24. A 15ft dory is a two-man boat and towards the large end of banks dory sizes. In the 19th Century, they were used in halibutting, while the cod fisheries used smaller dories. I'm not sure but that may have changed before the end of the Canadian dory-schooner fishery in 1963. The Midwest dory is modelled at 1:12 and looks to have a 13" bottom. If so, it represents a 13ft prototype, suited to the banks cod fishery or else fishing along the shore, but still a two-man boat. It also looks to have much stronger sheer than the Model Shipways one, so a different design within the same overall family. But, either way, yours is coming along nicely, Palmerit!
